Forcipomyia (Euprojoannisia) quasiingrami Macfie View in CoL

Forcipomyia quasi-ingrami Macfie, 1939: 164 ( Brazil) View in CoL .

Forcipomyia (Euprojoannisia) quasiingrami: Bystrak and Wirth 1978: 36 View in CoL (revision of North American Euprojoannisia View in CoL ; distribution); Wilkening et al. 1985: 516 (Florida records); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 7 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).

Discussion. Macfie (1939) based his description of this species on the male holotype from Nova Teutonia, Brazil. However, as noted by Bystrak and Wirth (1978), Macfie also described three females as Forcipomyia sp. and suggested that they “…may possibly be the female of F. quasi-ingrami sp. n. ” In their revision of North American species of F. ( Euprojoannisia ), Bystrak and Wirth (1978) recorded this species from Dominica, Jamaica, St. Lucia and from ten counties in Florida. We provide the first record of this primarily Neotropical species from Highlands Co.

New records. Highlands Co., Lake Placid, Archbold Biological Station, 15-IX-1990, W. W. Wirth, at Polygonella flowers, 1 male (FSCA).
